PARAMORE - THE FINAL RIOT

I used to post about this awesome band, Paramore. As we'll know that this band have released their debut album All We Know is Falling in 2005, and their sophomore Riot! in 2007 became a million-seller in the United States. They also have released a live album, The Final Riot. and true to the album's name, their last concert of 2008 in Chicago was nothing short of remarkable.

The performance of one of their biggest hits, That's What You Get, elicits a euphoric reaction from the audience who is spurred on by Williams. At times (particularly on Fences), Paramore sound a bit like NO Doubt and the band also gives a good account of itself while covering Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. All in all, a good effort with the concert DVD an added bonus for Paramore's hardcore followers.

For all the oddmalaya readers, I have prepared to you all about Hayley Williams, vocalist of Paramore.



Hayley Nichole Williams (was born on December 27, 1988 in Meridian, Mississippi) is an American rock singer and songwriter. In 2002 at the age of 12, Hayley moved to Franklin, Tennessee where she met fellow band members Josh and Zac Farro in a private school. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lesson with Brett Manning. While still in school she tried out for a local funk cover band called The Factory, where she met Jeremy Davis. After The Factory disbanded, Hayley and Jeremy began writing songs with Farro brothers and became Paramore.

In 2005, John Janick, founder of record label Fueled by Ramen, signed a contract with them. Hayley commented about the signing, saying, "Fueled By Ramen has been amazing to us. So many kids started checking us out because our name is on their roster. It is like a big family; we all share such a massive unit of fans." She has also done guest vocals on 'Then Came to Kill' by Chariot, 'Keep Dreaming Upside Down' by October Fall, 'Fallen' by Death in the park, 'The Church Channel' and 'Plea' by Say Anything, and 'Kiss Me' by New Found Glory.
